Displacement Calculation of a Car
What is the displacement of the car after driving 23 m/s east for 35 seconds?
A. 805 m west
B. 805 m east
C. 523 m east
D. 23 m east
Answer: B. 805 m east
The displacement of the car after driving 23 m/s east for 35 seconds is 805 meters east. This calculation can be done by multiplying the speed of the car (23 m/s east) by the time it traveled (35 seconds).
Explanation:
Δx = (23 m/s east) x (35 s)
Δx = 805 m east
